Zhao Xi has hardly slept a wink since he learned that the Huazhou dam broke. This sense of mission is not simply because he is a king, but more because of the education he has received.
After arranging all the disaster relief work, I couldn't bear it any longer and could sleep peacefully.
"The official family finally fell asleep. Mr. Wangge, can you wait for the official family to wake up first? The official family has not slept for a while since they learned that the Huazhou dam broke!"
Wang Zhong was explaining to Wang Anshi with a sincere tone.
It’s only been four hours, and I definitely haven’t gotten enough sleep.
Guan Jia was already almost forty, and Wang Zhongzheng was also at this age. He knew that he could not compare with his early years when he followed Guan Jia on the southern expedition.
At that time, the officials led their escort battalion to fight, and it was okay not to sleep for three to five days.
Now, he really needs to worry about Guan Jia's health. It's too hard!
"Zhongzheng, let Mr. Wang Ge wait for me to change my clothes later!"
At this time, Wang Anshi has nothing important to do and should not disturb him.
Sigh... It seems that I can't completely rest my mind yet!
After hearing Wang Zhongzheng's explanation, Wang Anshi really wanted to retreat temporarily.
His matter can still be slowed down. They are all victims of the disaster, and they should be able to accept being hungry and full.
However, the official family has been awakened...
"Officially, except for a few reserves, all the food in Changpingcang in Bianliang has been transported to Huazhou. However, the number of rescued victims is increasing day by day. I calculated that the food stored in the temporary camp is not enough for the victims for five days."
"Among the supplies prepared for Huazhou during this disaster relief operation, there were insufficient barracks and tents, and most of them were military tents. Since the soldiers had been camped for days to rescue the victims, the military's single-person tents could not be used by the victims."
"Each barrack tent can accommodate at least nearly fifty people. Although the victims have no complaints, the medical officer of the Ministry of Health and Welfare is worried that this arrangement will lead to a large epidemic of plague..."
Wang Anshi is from Jiangxi. Southerners are more familiar with and fear the plague than northerners. He strongly agrees with the medical officer's statement.
A major disaster must lead to a major epidemic! The imperial court spent so much money and energy this time to finally rescue the victims. Wang Anshi, the cabinet responsible for resettlement, did not want anything to happen in the final stage of his responsibility.
Perhaps there was no cost in using so many soldiers, so just watching a carriage being thrown into the water was very shocking.
It also allowed the accompanying officials to feel the government’s determination to rescue the victims!
"Mr. Wang Ge, the dynasty is a national system. This is not just a matter for Huazhou, but a matter for the imperial court, that is, for the entire Song Dynasty."
"Order Jingxi Road, Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, Jinghu North Road and other roads close to Gyeonggi Road to station troops and open all Changping warehouses to ensure that the victims have food."
"We will hand over all the barracks and tents in stock in Gongfang City, all the nearby garrison troops, and the standing barracks and tents to the imperial court, and transport them to Huazhou."
"In terms of rail transportation in Gongfang City, we are ordered to increase the frequency of food transportation from the south to the north. We must ensure that there will be no catastrophic disasters and ensure that the victims have food."
"Ming Shi Yi Si, intensify inspections of Jingdong Road, Jingxi Road, Gyeonggi Road, Hebei Road, Jinghu North Road and other places. Anyone who takes the opportunity to drive up prices will be severely punished!"
"Order Lu Huiqing and Shen Tianci to return to Beijing and cooperate with Mr. Fu Ge to deal with material supply matters! Get up now and don't delay!"
"At the same time, the disaster relief troops are connected to the inner city of Huazhou, and all relief materials are uniformly deployed and used by Mr. Wangge. The officials in the inner city who are temporarily responsible for Huazhou disaster relief matters are all controlled by Mr. Wangge."
"Order the Huazhou garrison to be temporarily under the control of Wangge Lao and authorized by the Privy Council to be responsible for the entire Huazhou disaster relief and the security of the camp! Anyone who violates the official regulations in times of disaster will be killed without mercy!"
Wang Anshi has a temperament that dares to do things and takes responsibility. At this time, Zhao Xi does not mind delegating power to Wang Anshi and letting him take the lead in the entire disaster relief matter.
He is also a minister who values his people.
Han Qi was different. There was nothing wrong with Han Qi at this time. He wandered around, saying that he was coordinating, and walked around in a big circle, as if the entire disaster relief camp was in order, and there was no need for him to coordinate anything.
At this time, Han Qi felt that it was time to return to the court, and he felt that it was time for the officials to return to the court.
However, Linghu Jiu and his team... Han Qi came to the edge of the dam collapse again.
Although the rain has become lighter, it has not stopped, and it keeps falling. Depending on the weather, the rain will stop in a day or two...~
I just don’t know if Linghu Jiu and the others can survive until the rain stops.
This is……?
Han Qi was a little angry, and blood rushed to his head. When did it become possible to insult a scholar-official like this?
For two or three days, without eating or drinking, and just being soaked in the heavy rain, it would be impossible for a person to bear it.
It was certain that they would fall to the ground. However, at this time, Linghu Jiu and his gang were tied up with wooden poles and insisted on maintaining their kneeling posture!
As for the rescued victims, people kept walking by, throwing mud, spitting, and even worse, defecating in front of them...~
Even if a courtier is guilty, he is still a courtier; even if a scholar-official is guilty, he is still a scholar-official!
"Why is this happening? Who allowed you to deal with them like this?"
Han Qi didn't go so far as to scold the soldiers in front of the victims. He roared at the soldiers when no one was watching.
"Back to Mr. Hange, the official's order is to kneel down and bow to Huazhou. We are carrying out the emperor's order...~"
This is no longer the case in the old days. Soldiers and soldiers now dare to argue with civilian officials... This is what officials are used to.
Han Qi trembled with his fingers and pointed at the soldiers one by one, but no one took a step back, even though Han Qi's fingers had almost reached his forehead.
Han Qi fluttered his sleeves and walked away. He actually didn't get close to Linghu Jiu and the others... It was so dirty.
Han Qi found the medical officer of the Ministry of Health and Welfare... Anyway, Han Qi was still a cabinet minister, so the medical officer followed Han Qi to the edge of the dam collapse without carrying him.
"Mr. Han Ge, none of these people are alive..."
"ah?……"
Watching the medical officer leave, they were far away, and Han Qi didn't even feel relieved.
The officials are really ruthless!
However, Han Qi was timid enough to argue with the officials about their treatment of Linghu Jiu and his gang.
"In the official family, death is the most important thing. The old minister does not plead for their guilt, nor does he ask what should be done to the scholar-bureaucrats. The old minister only begs the official family to allow them to rest in peace."
Han Qi was very sad and a little scared. He couldn't explain why.
In Han Qi's opinion, this time may be the first sword raised by the officials against the scholar-bureaucrats...
"Does Mr. Han feel pity? Sympathize with them? Does Mr. Han see the condition of the victims who were rescued by the soldiers? Do you know the sorrow of those victims?"
Zhao Xi looked at Han Qi... but didn't reply, not even looking at each other.
"Forget it, go find the chief inspector! According to the supervision regulations, what should be confiscated should be confiscated, and what should be seized should be seized. As for this person... let his family collect the body. The court will not bury such an official, nor can it
Officials act according to regulations."
Perhaps the debt is wiped out after death. Even if Zhao Xi gets angry again, it will be over after he dies.
